The Harbor Freight guages are not the best, BUT, will do the job. I have 2 sets. One R12 the other R134a. Get the book. It will help with guage diagnosis and information. I do not know if the book has info on your car. But my book does.
Haynes Techbook, Automotive Heating and air Conditioning

1991 190#E 2.6

Low side guage 24-34 psi
High side guage 230-275 psi
5.00 Oz of oil
2.2 Lbs of freon.

Now this is for R12. If you convert your system, make sure you do it right, Oring, flush etc, The amounts for R134a freon will change.
